Currá, Barbaresco DOCG 2014

Wine Description for Currá Barbaresco DOCG 2014 by Sottimano

Colour & Appearance

Luminous ruby red with remarkable transparency and clarity – a visual promise of the elegance that awaits in the glass.

Nose

Open and approachable, this Currá presents itself with a seductive melange of Mediterranean herbs – thyme and rosemary set the tone. Behind these unfold red cherries and fully ripe plums, accompanied by delicate floral notes. A hint of white pepper and cool minerality lend additional complexity to the bouquet.

Palate

A classic Barbaresco par excellence: youthful, herbal tannin meets expansive fruit. The attack impresses with juice and smoothness, underpinned by spicy nuances of bacon, bay leaf and juniper. The transparent freshness and filigree acidity structure keep the wine in perfect balance – approachable, yet not simple.

Finish

Fruit-driven and persistent, with an echo of Mediterranean herbal spice and mineral precision.

Terroir & Origin

The Currá grows on barren limestone soils in Piedmont – a terroir that gives Nebbiolo its characteristic minerality and finesse. This geological imprint is reflected in the wine’s taut elegance.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Nebbiolo from the 2014 vintage, vinified in the traditional Barbaresco style. At 14% alcohol, the wine shows power without excess – an example of balanced winemaking.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Excellent with pasta with truffles, braised sardines in spicy tomato sauce with black olives or pork roast with dried fruit, thyme and root vegetables. The wine’s herbal spice harmonises perfectly with Mediterranean preparations.

Special Features

An ideal Barbaresco for immediate enjoyment – or for those waiting for the maturity of the highly acclaimed 2016 vintage. The 2014 Currá proves that great Barbaresco does not necessarily require decades of cellar ageing to bring pleasure.
